British Olympic Association’s two senior executives have been banned from attending London Board meetings for the time being. They would not be able to attend the meeting until the dispute with the London Organizing Committee will be sorted out.
Chairman of BOA, Lord Moynihan and Chief Executive Andy Hunt would not be able to participate in the discussions, as they are having case against LOCOG to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Representatives of BOA would be present in the London 2012 board meetings. But, this banning has surely indicated the bad vibes between both the sides.
LOCOG statement further reads, “Colin Moynihan and Andy Hunt remain directors of LOCOG. Both have been invited to send alternate representatives to board meetings.” The statement also said, “The BOA is ably represented on the LOCOG board by HRH the Princess Royal, Sir Craig Reedie, Sir Phil Craven and Adam Pengilly, all of whom are on the BOA board.”
The bone of contention between the two parties is mainly over Olympics profit distribution and including Paralympics, the less profitable event. According to LOCOG, presence of Paralympics should be mandatory in all the significant calculations.
